   Been driving too much so I'm really gone ;)   
      
   Played at my church's Tenebrae (Holy Thursday) event last night from about   
   7:15 pm until around 8:30 pm, after driving since 4:30 am - but I still   
   remember most of it anyway ;)

   That's true of just about anyone with personal preferences.   
   In my case, I learned 2 'country' songs:   
      
   I Believe by Diamond Rio, and When I Get Where I'm Going by Brad   
   Paisley...so those are the only songs I know by those artists, because I'm a   
   rock & roller ;)   
      
   > Yep. I like some ice cream flavors, don't like others. Same with music.   
      
   *Other* sensations are like songs, some are total favorites, others well   
   liked, others just okay, still others tolerated, and some loathed...it's all   
   about personal preference!

   The band Shooting Star has a violin player. And the Electric Light Orchestra   
   (ELO) used viola and cello as well as violin.   
      
   But Kansas's Robby Steinhardt is still the best - can he ever jam and get   
   down ;)

   Love that finger pick pickin' !   
   Particularly on Foggy Mountain Breakdown!

   Then maybe he'll listen to you.
